Crafting grids come in different sizes, the most common is 3×3 slots. The crafting grid size limits what you can craft: A 4×4 crafting recipe can only be crafted in a 4×4 crafting grid or larger. -To complete the craft, take the result item from the output slot (like you would take items from other inventory slots), which will consume items from the crafting grid and creates a new item.

Without this knowledge, you can't craft. There are multiple ways to learn about crafting recipes. One way is by using a crafting guide, which contains a list of available crafting recipes. Some subgames provide such crafting guides. There are also some mods which you can download online for installing a crafting guide. Another way is by reading the on-line manual of the subgame (if one is available). Crafting recipes consist of at least one input item and exactly one stack of output items. When performing a single craft, it will consume exactly one item from each stack of the crafting grid, unless the crafting recipe defines replacements. There are multiple kinds of crafting recipes: Shaped, shapeless, cooking and repairing. -• Shaped recipe (image 2): Items need to be placed in a particular shape -• Shapeless recipe (images 4 and 5): Items need to be placed in the crafting grid, but their positions don't matter (the images show the same recipe) +• Shaped (image 2): Items need to be placed in a particular shape +• Shapeless (images 4 and 5): Items need to be placed somehow, but their positions don't matter (images 4 and 5 show the same recipe) • Cooking: Explained in “Basics > Cooking” -• Repairing (image 6): Place two damaged tools of the same kind into the crafting grid anywhere, which gives you a new tool which is repaired by a certain percentage. This recipe may not be available in all subgames +• Repairing (image 6): Place two damaged tools into the crafting grid anywhere to get a tool which is repaired by a certain percentage. This recipe may not be available in all subgames In some crafting recipes, some or all input item do not need to be a concrete item, instead it needs to be a member of a particular group (see “Basics > Groups”). Such recipes offer a bit more freedom in the input items. Images 7 and 8 show a group-based recipe. Here, 8 items of the “stone” group are required, which is true for all of the shown items. Both images show the same crafting recipe. |
